Why Choose Single-Ply PVC Roofing for Your Building

Why Choose Single-Ply PVC Roofing for Your Building

When it’s time to replace the roof on your commercial building, you have an array of choices to make. You must choose a roofing contractor, choose the ideal material for your roof, and a plethora of other things. Duro-Last single-ply PVC roofing is the best choice for many businesses. They feature numerous benefits that no other roofing material can provide.

Single-Ply PVC Roofing Comes in a Single Sheet

Single-ply PVC roofing is the ideal choice for buildings with a flat or low-sloped roof. Such roofs come in single flat sheets that are pre-designed to perfectly fit your roof. By using a single sheet on your roof, you will reduce the risk of seams in the roof that could lead to leaking in the future.

Energy Efficient Option

Single-ply PVC roofs are one of the most energy efficient options available. Most come with reflective surfaces, so that they will not get too hot in the summer sun. They also can repel dirt and provide insulation benefits for the cold weather. Some single-ply PVC roofing is even certified by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star products program. Products earn the Energy Star rating when they help conserve energy, benefitting both your pocketbook and the environment.

Best for High-Traffic Roofs

Some residential roofs are not exposed to foot traffic. Conversely, the roofs of businesses have to endure people walking on them more frequently. Single-ply PVC roofs are great for roofs that see a high amount of foot traffic, such as restaurants.

Quick and Easy Installation

Many roofing projects can take an extremely long time to complete. Not only is this an inconvenience for your building, it is also expensive because you need to spend more money on labor costs. Commercial roofing specialists like Technique Roofing can install a single-ply PVC very quickly. When the roof is being designed in the factory, it is created to specifications that fit your building. Duro-Last single-ply roofs are dielectric welded together in Saginaw, MI. Technique Roofing then heat-welds the prefabricated sheets together on site. This type of welding makes them less likely to crack or deteriorate. Because it already fits the shape and size of your roof, it does not take a lot of extra work to install it on your building. Additionally, Duro-Last single-ply PVC roofs can be installed without any hazardous materials or substances. You can have a single-ply PVC roof installed over another roof if you do not want to spend the money removing your previous roof.

Most roofing materials can only be installed during warm weather. Cold weather damages the adhesive that professionals use to hold it together so the materials need warm weather to set and solidify properly. Roofing professionals can install single-ply PVC roofing during any time of year. Because the roof already comes heat-welded together, they do not need to worry about the roof sealing incorrectly in cold weather. Your business will not need to deal with a weak or leaking roof, as you can have the single-ply PVC installed right when your current roof becomes problematic, even in the cold.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Single-ply PVC roofs are extremely durable and can last for decades. Roofs of other materials need to be replaced frequently, a work-intensive and expensive process. Single-ply PVC can last through many extreme weather conditions such as high winds, heavy rain, and ranges in temperature. It is also more resistant to chemicals and fires than many other roofing materials. Many roofs will begin leaking or break if water accidentally pools anywhere. The secure welding of single-ply PVC roofs makes them extremely resistant to leaking and it is less likely that pooling water will damage the roof.
